Modern renovation of a classic contemporary home

We get to do a lot of really cool projects and this is one of the coolest. This home, a contemporary design with California influence, located in Charlottesville needed a major overhaul to bring it back to life.

Years of family memories had taken a toll on this once very beautiful home.

A few misguided additions impacted the functionality of the home and lack of maintenance impacted the durability.

The builder, Peter Johnson, is working on building the addition and updating the energy performance of the home. Foam insulation is being added, doors and windows replaced, and HVAC units updated.

The new garage / carport is designed to be light and airy with an open slat wall design to minimize the mass of the addition.
